📋 Team News: FC Krasnodar

Kazbek Mukailov (unknown injury), Grigoriy Lovtsov (Foot injury), Victor Sá (Hip injury) and Vitaliy Stezhko (Knee surgery) are not available for FC Krasnodar boss Murad Musayev.

In all likelihood, Byki look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising Stanislav Agkatsev, Valentin Paltsev, Vítor Tormena, Diego Costa, Lucas Olaza, Aleksandr Chernikov, Kevin Lenini, Joao Batxi, Eduard Spertsyan, Nikita Krivtsov and Jhon Cordoba.

📋 Team News: Orenburg

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Orenburg gaffer Ildar Akhmetzyanov to be concerned about. Aleksey Tataev (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Orenburg could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Bogdan Ovsyannikov, Stanislav Poroykov, Jhon Alex Palacios, Danila Khotulev, Danila Vedernikov, Evgeny Bolotov, Du Queiroz, Jordhy Thompson, Damian Puebla, Emircan Gurluk and Alexandre Jesus.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, FC Krasnodar look likely to score a couple of goals when they meet Orenburg, who won’t find it easy to break down their defence.

We reckon that it will be a decent 2-0 winning score for FC Krasnodar when all’s said and done.
